But it also suggests that the neural networks are not the miracle as some proclaim. They get their knowledge from compressing a very large amount of text, but add little in terms of inference. Its success is then a function of its size, but that size cannot grow much. It also ties in with the idea that the current ANNs don't discriminate text, and repeat bad input as readily as anything else.

This is true. The inevitable replacement is going to take a toll. Finding one itself would be a pain, and the money would gigantic compared to what was paid before. One strategy is to plan for it and invest for it. With such long Windows, you could have enough with very little but consistent investments. If you are going to drive as long as you can, then keep on setting aside a car payment. Even when it is not needed.

It depends on cost. If the tax required to place bollards everywhere possible amounted to 1M$ per car, would that be a reasonable tax?
First of all, it's incredibly fun to play with friends.

There's a fantastic story, with simple game mechanics and nearly zero immersion breaking elements.

You can load up and completely leave the real world behind, there's nothing that drags you back to it. Ie not a single symbol of today's 2024 earth; we are fully and truly fighting for Super Earth some time in the future.

Also, physics and realism is absolutely brutal. On the higher difficulty levels, your team surviving until the end feels like a real achievement.

The lore of the game is just amazing, and is lifted by epic music and voice acting, plus stellar graphics.

Same as Gamepass, I assume. Larger numbers of PSN, more people to advertise to for stuff like PS Now, easier monitoring of accounts for cheaters. The one piece of value I heard was that you can earn both Steam achievements and PSN trophies at once for those that care about that.

>Because it seems like they’re literally providing 0 value to HD2 gamers.

If we're being blunt, Sony provided value by giving money to Arrowhead to make a game they sold at half the price of a AAA release. I am predominantly single player, but it seems to be a tiny "cost" to make a free account to help support for a continual service, one whose only MTX seems to be a non-expiring battle pass (and maybe some cosmetics?).

I'm mostly saying this for the future rather than present. I think the only change they'll make next time is to make super sure PSN works at launch to prevent this kerfuffle.

You need to get replacement air to the cavern when you pump the water up, and let the air to make room for the water when it's going down. So you need a separate shaft for airflow anyway. I assume the rest is just economics, it's probably a lot cheaper to have all the moving parts easily accessible on the surface.

Edit: Also the fact, that if the pump was at the very bottom and it failed, you'd need to have an alternative way to clear the cavern of water in order to go down and fix the pump.

We Westerners want peace, prosperity and sovereignty for Palestinians. For us, a 2 state solution seems so reasonable. But we're not the ones who matter. Among Palestinians and Arabs in general, advocates for a 2-state peaceful coexistence is such a miniscule minority that yes, you can effectively paint the entire pro-Palestinian movement as genocidal. This is hard for Westerners to swallow, but that is the reality.
From my personal experience as a central European male, they would be missing women and their outputs would have predictable and easily rectified mistakes. Unless their customer base is 90% male and they are OK with that.

There were quite a few statements by key people in the current Israeli government that demonstrate clear intent for genocide.

As to why they don't massacre every living Palestinian in Gaza if they really want to do so - Israel still depends significantly on external support, most notably from US, but also from European countries. Thus even if intending to commit genocide, they have to do so in a plausibly deniable way.
The border between journalists and militants is quite blurry in Gaza.

Yes this is normal even in normal residential wells. Boreholes are just a few inches across so obviously nobody ever goes down them!

I have an injector pump that sits at the top of the borehole and has a pipe that pushes water down to pump water up through a second pipe, but it's more common to have a submersible pump down at the bottom of the bore.

Yes, the strange thing with the debate is that ppl seem to think that there is a conflict between compatibilism and incompatiblism, which there isn't. They are just taking about different concepts.

"By clearly defining what freedom is, regardless of whether or not determinism holds, our conceptualization of value freedom allows for a compatibilist view on free will. We are not disagreeing with the classic incompatibilist
argument (McKenna & Coates, 2021) that determinism does not allow for free will; rather, what we propose is that the kind of freedom lay people actually refer to in everyday language is not the same kind of freedom incompatibilists reject. This distinction between what we here call physical freedom vs. value freedom allows for several potentially interesting perspectives."

I recently ordered some parts for my car. It was a complex schedule of repairs between my main mechanic, the tire shop, some of my own work, and another guy - and with a hard deadline at the end, so I paid for rapid shipping from one company. They got back to me the next day by email, saying "you're in California, too, so we were able to get you two-day shipping by ground: there's no need to pay for the premium option. How do you want the refund?" You better believe I ordered the rest of the parts I needed from them, and (when I need something else, next time) they'll be the first place I'll look, and probably where I buy, even if I might be able to save $10 buying something somewhere else. It was a small, unexpected thing, and it's the best marketing dollars they'll ever "spend" to win my custom.
have any citations or specific examples?
They were not paid, but we spared them the stress of a timed online coding exercise which a lot of devs hate. We told them we expect short snippets of code to illustrate the answers to six questions which progressed from the obvious (if you code in the language for a few years) to more of "there are many was to do it, here is mine" to judge their ability to turn requirements into code. You could do the whole thing in half an hour. It was fair.
Felt boring to me too. The core mechanic was just shoot everything everywhere with little discrimination and everything felt kinda same. Fun for 5 minutes. It also doesn't help that there's always some annoying racist on voice chat games when you have an accent so that takes out all the joy of co-op unless you have a premade group. Doom Eternal is arguably similar but it has enough variation and finetuning in levels, mobility, powerups, weapons, enemy types, soundtrack to make it very fun.
> If you are going to add semantic structure to an identifier, which is frequently useful and a good idea, best practice is usually to encrypt it before sending it to the external world. Encrypting a UUID-like structure is approximately free on modern computers.

Been there. Problem is, now you can’t rotate your keys without breaking users and everyone and everything needs access to this key. This means the key is going to leak sooner or later. Also, someone will inevitably create an endpoint that does not encrypt, nay obfuscate, the identifier. Might as well not have bothered to obfuscate the ID to begin with.

>And yes, I know PSN supports less countries than Steam, but how many people on the internet really reside in one of those non-supported areas? I would bet it is less than 84,000 people.

I don't think it's a very good point to make. "I'm a consumer, but it doesn't affect MY bottom line, so it's not anti-consumer". Well, sure, I guess.

>I don't think it's a good thing to only point out a systematic issue when it's inconviient. That's how these "but it worked here" sorts of issues become abused. I'd rather point out how this snowball is rolling before it becomes a boulder later on, especially when boulders have already formed and gone not nearly as mentioned.

That's how you appear tone deaf. You're making your "hot take" under a legitimate case of review systems working as they were intended, it's not part of the systematic issue.

>Pet peeve: "anti-consumer" has lost all meaning. Paying $10 more was "anti consumer", downloading a store of your own preference is "anti-consumer". Now making an account you don't like is "anti-consumer"? You see how this word has gotten diluted in the gaming community, no?
I miss when inconveniences were just that, inconvient. Not a declaration of war for capitalism.

I'm not sure what war you think anyone is declaring, this is merely a bunch of frustrated paid customers voicing their opinion. There are many things in gaming, and well everywhere else, that are indeed anti-consumer. I think it's why it may appear to you that the word is diluted. Ultimately, it's down to communication between the company and their customers: if the market views something anti-consumer as "acceptable", then those things would not cause a negative reaction of this scale. I'm not saying Sony was unjustified in requiring a PSN link, but it was communicated poorly and after the game has already been sold to people who would be losing their access a result of it. It's not a new practice either: many games do require you to create an account with their or someone else's service to enable different online features, like crossplay. It's not really a problem until it's handled in a way that it becomes one.
Facebook’s value is in the social network, rather than IP/data.

> Well, I don't particularly like sports betting, but it doesn't seem worse than any other form of entertainment. Titanic had a 200 million dollar budget in the 1990s to produce about 444,600 movie frames and a bit of sound. Was that a good use of resources?

Sports betting is non-productive, money goes into a sink and gets absorbed without production. The production of Titanic had to hire hundreds to thousands of professionals through multiple companies to produce something, those people and businesses get paid and spend it back in the general economy (both to produce their product and the surplus that gets generated goes back into investments for the next project).

Productive activities are always much better for society than non-productive ones like sports betting.
As an Italian, I've tried Starbucks once in my life as soon as I came to live in Berlin many years ago.

I don't get all the hype and the following that the brand has, since the coffee tastes as muddy water and the cappuccino is just milk with some droplets of coffee in it. Obviously the price is exaggerated.

What impresses me is that now Starbucks is opening in many cities in Italy and it gets more followers/adopters.

If you really want a good coffee, just go to any bar/café which isn't branded (Starbucks, Einstein, whatever). Their coffee will taste much better and at a cheaper price.

A couple extra factors to consider when doing the math for the 10'000 cars and 40 pedestrians example:

* if bollards are installed, more pedestrians may start to use the road (because pedestrians now perceive the road as safer)

* if bollards are installed, the average car speed may decrease (because motorists consciously or subconsciously weigh in the potential consequences of hitting the bollards. This has been shown to work with tree lines. Not sure about bollards, as they are less visually prominent).
It isn't

In my opinion, Rust, though large, is in some sense quite minimal. Lot's of features in Rust are actually needed to allow the compiler to statically reason about memory safety.

And this is why Rust is likely going to take over from C, not because it is the most C-like design, but because it can provide static safety guarantees.

There is considerable pressure, at least for internet facing code, to show that it is safe. And that is way to hard to do (and keep doing) for C.

Of course, somebody may come up with a brilliant design. But lots of organizations don't want to wait for that. They don't want to keep writing new code in C. And Rust has by now a mature compiler, a very active community.

>people from south east asia (ie oriental)

it is actually more common from the European and Middle Eastern context to call the (Turkish and Levantine and Arabian) Middle East "oriental"; in Israel, "oriental food" is hummus and felafel; the Orient Express train went to Istanbul. East Asian is the term for ... east Asians and of course the SE Asians you mentioned, and South Asian is the term for "India+Pakistan+" people. Central Asian is the "the -stans" and Mongolia and parts of Russia.

I'm also using X11, even though I've attempted to switch to Warplanes twice and had to switch back due to screen sharing and remote desktop being trash or just breaking after some update or other (most recently, browser). It's a work machine and I simply can't waste an hour fucking around with it. Aside from those issues which are deal-breakers in work, there's a bunch of minor annoyances I won't go into, thrust not deal brakes but they're "there". With X11 everything I need just works. I'm on a bleeding edge distro (OpenSUSE Tumbleweed) so I'll probably try it out on a weekend every few months to see if it's better. But in fairness I did that before, made the switch and then lost screen sharing after some random update...
